Intro: E 

         E 
When the last, breath of life 
   A             E
Is gone from , my body 
                                B
And my lips, are as cold as the sea 
        E
When my friends gather 'round 
    A            E
For my, farewell party 
      B                     E
Won't you, pretend you love me 
              A
There will be flowers from those 
       E
Who'll cry, when I go 
                                  B
And leave you in this, old world alone 
  E
I know you'll have fun 
       A        E
At my, farewell party 
      B                      E
Won't you, be glad, when I'm gone
